Use video to disseminate : How to produce a video for a research project?

Abstract: Nowadays, scholars are encouraged to use video for research dissemination. In most of the EU and national research projects, it is the hard requirement that the project results need to be disseminated to the public in multiple channels, e.g. video, webpage, etc. Thus the general aim of this master thesis research has arisen from this challenge faced by scholars, who normally have limited experience in the media production workflow and collaborating with video producers. To bridge the gap between researchers and media experts, better workflow guidance on production management is needed. In this study, the literature on three conventional video production management methods is reviewed and compared, aiming to identify the advantage and disadvantage of the methods for the research project video production. Emerging from the key findings, a novel management model is developed to meet the needs of researchers. Meanwhile, a logic workflow is proposed accordingly. The proposed approach is implemented and evaluated with a case study on a real video production project for a research centre at KTH. The limitation of the study is discussed in the end, with the suggestion given on further research.
